For the last few days around 5 of 6 i haven't been able to get to The Rebel Faction, it never even connects i get a small error message about the "Connection has Timed out".

Just curiously wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I tried using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox and tried using my other computer but i still couldn't get to the site.

I've been having the same problem as well and I know several others who are having common issues with the site too.

I just noticed it today. It's just a problem with the host, nothing serious, and nothing we can fix really.

Ok, just making sure something wasn't wrong or what not.

I figured as much. It's just slightly frustrating at times. ;)

Please continue to post when these timeouts occur (if you can). If we can get some more detailed information I'll see what I can do about it.

Also, does it happen with a different internet connection (work, school, library?). Is it an SQL error, or a general browser error? Eg, it's not "The SQL server has timed out", is it?

I haven't been trying anywhere else, but i tried with my laptop, my sisters computer, and then my dads and every time it came up with the same error and no connection.

Huh. I've never really had any problems getting to the site.

Yeah, I never have time outs. The worst I get are SQL errors after I take the database out back for a romp in the haybarn.

I had the same problem the day this was posted, around 5 or 6pm.


Firefox said 'page cannot be loaded, the server has timed out' or something to that effect, I remember at least it wasn't an SQL error.


That was the only time it actually timed out on me though... I have noticed that the board loads slower around that time period before though.
